It will take place on HM Frigate Unicorn (http://www.frigateunicorn.org/),
the world’s sixth oldest floating ship. After dinner, a ceilidh
dance will be held on the ship, where delegates will learn
(hopefully) some Scottish dances with live musical accompaniment.

Men often wear kilts at these
dances. If you would like to wear a kilt to this event, we can
arrange this for you – the cost will be around £40. Please contact
Andrew Allan (

We have organised kilts for international delegates to Dundee in the
past and it has been extremely popular. We hope you’ll take this
opportunity to try it.

the night of 23rd
September, we are hoping to arrange a whisky-tasting event. Details
will be made available soon.Costs will unfortunately not be covered
